[quote=Anonymous]OP is correct. We waited it out for a breed rescue and I learned to say exactly what the rescuers wanted. They didn't want an adopter who worked outside the home so I told them that my part-time job was primarily from home. They wanted someone who would never board their dog - who us? no, we'd never do that - our dogs are family, they always go with us on vacation! One rescue told me that they prefer adopters who were willing to cook for their (large breed) dogs. Sure, I'd love to cook for a dog, I said! The area's largest lab rescue won't adopt to families with kids under 8. I get why it could be problematic and risky for certain dogs - but seriously? After 8 months of waiting, we got a pup who was formerly in a high kill shelter in a southern state. He lives a cushy life in the suburbs, has at least 3 good walks per day, and gets tons of attention and love. The dog rescue people are a bit overwrought in their quests to find the perfect homes for these animals.[/quote]
